I wrote Gideon Gono's PhD assignments - Kereke

Former advisor to Zimbabwe Reserve Bank governor Gideon Gono, Munyaradzi Kereke has claimed that he was instrumental in Gono getting a doctorate as he literally  wrote all assignments.

Kereke, in a letter to  Gono dated 28 February said  the  central bank governor forced him to write assignments and he reluctantly agreed in order to keep his job.

Gono, according to Kereke "could never have secured a quarter of the PhD requirements using your very limited and blunt academic mental amplitude even in 5 decades."

"Mr Gideon Gono, do you forget you yet again abused your authority by forcing me to literally do all the academic work on your behalf for the entire PhD studies upon which you were "conferred" the Doctoral Degree you now flaunt to the public as your own?

"Do you forget you forced me to do all for you, right from registration, to doing all assignments, to doing all the online exams right up to the final thesis, so I could keep my job at the RBZ" asked Kereke.

In the letter, Kereke initially refereed to Gono as DR, but changed to Mr.

Kereke ordered Gino to "publicly retract your insults to me otherwise I will cause the relevant university to withdraw the doctoral degree they conferred on you, as you never ever wrote a sentence to earn it."

"You could never have secured a quarter of the PhD requirements using your very limited and blunt academic mental amplitude even in 5 decades. Please take this seriously as I will sue you for the abuse you affected on me. I literally feel worse than sodomized by what you did to me. This was absolute theft of my intellectual property under duress," charged Kereke.

Gono was given seven days to resolve the standoff.

"Let me end by saying that if I do not receive your written proposed way forward to resolve these matters, within 7 days I will proceed to institute legal measures to protect myself against your shameless determination to ruin my young life to protect and save your dirty, criminal, and unpatriotic ways."
